I have been tagged by Jana (Indigomoonarts) to reveal 7 things about myself that no one knows. Since I babble on and on around here it is going to be hard to find things that people don’t know, but I will give it a shot.

1. I threw up in Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark after being awake for 24 hours, touring the Carlsberg brewery, drinking copious quantities of free beer and then riding the bumper cars.
2. I have disco danced until dawn in the tiny village of Leysin, Switzerland, after a great night of cheese fondue and white wine. I stayed at Club Vagabond in May 1976 and I just discovered much to my surprise it is still there, and looks exactly the same. That makes me happy! It was such a fun place to stay.
3. I spilled coffee on Tommy Banks, during intermission while he was at the University of Calgary playing a jazz concert. He was actually very nice about it and I was horribly embarrassed (one of the few times I have been at a loss for words). Hopefully he has forgotten, but I never have.
4. I flew across the country (from BC to DC) to meet up with a man I had only "met" on the internet and we had the best weekend ever. We have talked almost every day for 10 years.
5. I accidentally disconnected a telephone call from Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to his private secretary in 1975 during Greycup weekend in Calgary. He was trying to make arrangements to come and stay at the hotel where I was working. The secretary was less than impressed with me. (As a side note it was -25 F that day and colder than a witch's tit!) Not a great day to be playing football outside.
6. I have never had a speeding ticket or been in a car accident (touch wood).
7. I can play 19 musical instruments. (Piano, recorder, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, oboe, bassoon, alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, trombone, tuba, guitar, ukulele, violin, cell, string bass, drums).

Amazing array of instruments Laurie. Maybe I need to revise my list. It is too cerebral anyway isn't it?
I think so. I think I will go have some fun with it...
Is that against the rules?
Yours is awesome!

THose are great.

I'm jealous of your musical talents. I so want to learn to play acoustic guitar... just haven't done it yet.

I thought I had an opportunity when a friend recently gave me an old guitar he hadn't used in years, but as it turns out it is in horrible shape (something is warped, somewhere) and it's a cheapy not worth fixing.

I really like No. 4. And I had a big laugh at No. 5. Oops! I am very impressed by No. 7.
